Yunlian Hand-Pulled Noodles

　　Yunlian County’s handmade noodles have a long history and premium quality, known for their characteristics of “not clouding the cooking water, not feeling greasy when served, and offering a smooth and tender texture.”

　　Zhang Yanbin, the owner of a noodle workshop in Hongquan Village, Yunlian Town, Yunlian County, shared his 35 years of insight into making noodles with a smile: “Stay honest.”

　　“In the past, it was common for locals in Yunlian to travel and do business. Many who left their hometowns would often bring dried noodles from home to eat elsewhere, as a way to ease homesickness,” Zhang casually shared. He explained that Yunlian businessmen abroad upheld principles of honesty and fairness in their dealings, and when important friends visited, they would cook a big bowl of noodles. Over time, the reputation of Yunlian’s handmade noodles spread through these people. It is understood that Yunlian County’s handmade noodles have already begun to be sold in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Guangzhou.
